EZ-BIOS came with a Western Digital drive I bought, and worked well with our old 486. But I had to use loadlin from DOS to get into Linux, which was a bit cumbersome. My Windows world was divvied up into several partitions, and Linux could only mount the primary Windows partition alongside the Linux filesystems. Now that I have a newer mother board, I have removed EZ-BIOS and am multi-booting with grub. Linux points out, each time that I boot up, that a few of those formerly EZ-BIOS partitions have the wrong size, by one sector. BTW, I have three hard disks and many Windows partitions, now all mounted when I go into Linux. So Linux takes a Loooonnnnggg time to boot up -- ext3 is fine for the Linux space, but there's some lame fsck that takes quite a while analyzing all those Windows areas. Vic
